We are happy to hear that our California-approved CLS specialist training program has provided a good experience. As a training program typically for those with little to no experience in a genetics laboratory, the pay is appropriate for the training period. Although ours is paid training, some alternatives are unpaid plus the trainee pays for tuition. Regarding retention, half of our staff has been with us for over five years, with 26% over ten years. Also, in this job position, we sometimes have new college graduates that elect to change career paths or decide to attend graduate school.

We appreciate that you ranked us a 5-star company and recommend Genetics Center. Given our staff size, we are more of a mid-size company, but we still have many opportunities to learn and grow through a wide variety of tasks. Open and honest communication is among the core values of Genetics Center. We try to keep a healthy environment without office politics. We also try to maintain appropriate staffing levels to keep stable employment for our employees, and even during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have avoided layoffs and furloughs. Genetics Center strives to offer competitive pay and benefits. Many staff start in entry-level positions with corresponding starting pay rates, but they are increased as they learn and contribute more to the work performed. Our full-time benefits are also generous and include paid holidays (including the employee’s birthday), health and dental insurance programs (available immediately, without any waiting period), a retirement plan (available from their second year with company matching of up to 3% of their salary), and paid time off (PTO) benefits (starts to accumulate from the beginning of employment, but you just can’t start to use that until the first 90-days have passed per the State guidelines). As the “Experts in Genetics . . . Specialists in Caring,” we do truly care for our employees and the patients at Genetics Center.

Pros

I am recently employed with Genetics Center and am learning so much. This is a busy place which leads to great learning opportunities. The fast-paced environment makes my day fly on by. The work culture is great, everyone is so friendly and happy to help in any way possible. There is great leadership and management which is demonstrated within the company and it’s successes. I work in the billing department as well as help other departments such as prenatal, cancer, and pediatrics. I also translate during counseling sessions. Overall, Genetics Center is a great place to work and further your career.
